Product Description

▼▲

This is the complete life of Bach written for children. Vivid descriptions bring the major events of Bach's life together, including his childhood: how he sat up many nights and copied music by the light of the moon, and how he walked two hundred miles to a choir school at Luneburg. Then his adult life: how he helped his wife Magdalena put the twenty children to bed every night; how he spread brown bread with honey for them to eat every afternoon; and how he taught them all to sing and play different kinds of music that Bach ever wrote.

I saw the Opal Wheeler books recommended on a Charlotte Mason website and my interest was piqued. I had been looking for a way to incorporate a little more music appreciation into our homeschooling. It WELL exceeded my expectations. My boys (6yo and 9yo) loved this book. We read a chapter a week, stretching it out to about a 6 week "study". I say study, but there was nothing laborious about it at all -- pure joy. Such a delightful book, and the music was so well selected. Can you imagine my rough-and-tumble boys going around whistling Bach's tunes? The music is infectious! (Definitely buy the corresponding CD with the book!) They are now well acquainted with Bach and we all think of him as an old friend. And his music is familiar to us all. What a happy way to learn. : ) We are on to Mozart next, and I'm looking forward to many more Opal Wheeler books in the years ahead.
